Dutch looking for a horse/agriculture job

Post by tenwaho » Sat Aug 25, 2012 10:54 pm

I would like to go work temporary/permanent in Finland. But I find it hard finding my way through Finnish vacancies. Does anyone happen to know a job with horses (care & management) (or reindeer or whatever non meat factory kept animal) that does not require too well speaking Finnish? I am learning the language but I cannot do work yet involving 'critical' communication. I would however as soon as I head off to Finland study Swedish as well, of which I already understand bits naturaly.

Other skills I have are warehousing, general agriculture, tourism, catering and a bit of healthcare. If it is for less than 4 weeks, volunteer (but including housing and food) is considerable. If it is for longer, it is nice if I can take my two clean and decent indoor cats with me. They have been abandoned once, I won't let it happen twice.

Any help with places where I can find a suitable job will be ok too (as is help finding my way through Finnish vacancies). I am planning to go to Finland in the near future to continue my search localy. I have not really preference where in Finland. I love the north/east though... but Helsinki or surroundings is fine too.

Everything listed for equestrian (horse) related work in Finland. I'll leave the translation to you. 8)

Thank you both for replying. I know it is not much payed or easy (the job I have now doesnt pay well either) and hard to find a job as non Finnish speaker. Nor it is here in Holland to find work with horses (those jobs usualy go to 'special care' people). Luckily I prefer a happy job/life over money. And just with a bit of luck, if you don't fight for it, you loose anyway.

The translation is not really a problem, I see there is a Svenska button on the site (probably it won't be the same/whole information like in Finnish, but it is a starter ;-) )
